Most people are very generous when a new baby is born - providing gifts to a baby that’s, let’s face it, is utterly oblivious. Instead, a gift for the sleep-deprived, discombobulated parents can make a real difference at a stressful time

Trying to pick which present you want to give to the new mum and dad can be tricky - it’s a crowded market.

While every parent and every baby is different, however, there are a range of personalised and practical presents that will be loved by all.

Tips for presents for new parents

Consider the people you are gifting for, and try and tailor the presents to their personalities. It’s a myth that all people immediately want cutesy things the second their baby arrives. And if they don’t like classic gender stereotypes, don’t push in that direction - leave the pink/blue themed stuff for those who do like the traditional colour rules.
